Product Directory

Our extensive product portfolio and services and
support capabilities are designed to improve your processes through every
stage of your manufacturing cycle - from design and installation through
operation and maintenance.

ROCKWELL SOFTWARE

Informed Decisions. Optimized Plant.

Information from your control system in context and on demand gives you an
advantage: analyze production, improve equipment performance and product
quality. The power of information is only a click away with Rockwell
Software.

Design & Configuration

Design and Configuration provides integrated environments
for creating and modeling production processes, programming automation
controls, as well as tools to setup equipment, order and product
definitions. This integrated approach streamlines the overall planning,
development and deployment processes resulting in faster, lower-cost
implementations.

Faster start up. Integrate to create:

Automation control programming

Setup and propagate reusable equipment

Order and product definition

Rapid process development, simulation and deployment

Production Management

Production Management addresses order sequencing and
execution, tracking and genealogy, and interactive manufacturing process
control. By synchronizing actionable real-time information across
manufacturing methods, materials, manpower and machines, you can improve
coordination of multiple production processes — regardless of location.

Data Management

Data Management provides tools and methods to enable
integration and workflow across disparate systems, as well as storage of
master data, event, process and production information. It creates a
foundation for contextual information by organizing, synchronizing,
archiving and aggregating data collected by automated or manual systems.

Data is valuable. Collect, transform and integrate yours:

Event, process, or master data collection and storage

Integration and workflow across disparate systems

Organize, synchronize, archive and aggregate data

Automated and manual data collection

Quality & Compliance

Quality and Compliance helps you adhere to established
standards and specifications related to the execution of operational
processes and procedures. An automated, proactive environment improves
first-pass quality and product consistency and simplifies the regulatory
reporting process.

Performance & Visibility

Performance and Visibility provides a window into the
process by incorporating the creation of performance metrics, as well as the
situational display of manufacturing information at the machine, line,
plant, and enterprise level. Reporting and analysis tools, operator
interfaces and management dashboards deliver contextual, localized,
role-based information for better decision-making.

Keep an eye on your performance:

Reporting and analysis tools

Role-based operator interfaces and dashboards

Key performance indicators (KPI)

Situational display at machine, line, plant and enterprise levels
